There’s no denying it – Christmas season is finally upon us. Decorations are adorning the streets, the shops are filled with gifts and the first mince pie of the season is just around the corner.

There are countless ways to get yourself in the Christmas spirit, from carol singing to late night shopping, cosy Christmas movies to advent calendars. But if you have young kids, then a visit to a panto is always a sure-fire hit.

This year, the Cork Opera House Christmas Pantomime is Beauty and The Beast, and the River Lee has teamed up with them for a special festive package. As well as a family ticket to the show, admitting two adults and two children, you’ll have overnight accommodation in a beautiful family room, complete with full Irish breakfast the next morning.

You’ll also have a €40 voucher to spend in the Weir Restaurant or Bar, and 20% off all spa treatments at the hotel spa. There’s also complimentary access to the leisure centre, where the kids can let rip in the swimming pool.

The River Lee is the perfect spot for a city break, with a great location on a weir, just a short walk from the city centre. As well as the super-comfortable bedrooms and gorgeous restaurant, there’s an outdoor heated terrace where you can cosy up if you get a bit of sunshine.
